Tradescantia

Wandering Jew (Tradescantia zebrina)

The Wandering Jew, also known as Tradescantia zebrina, is a popular and fast-growing houseplant admired for its striking trailing stems adorned with vibrant purple, silver, and green striped leaves. Its trailing habit makes it perfect for hanging baskets or as a cascading feature on shelves.

Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light, which enhances its vibrant coloration. In lower light, the purple hues may fade. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch.

Pot Size 9cm

Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as Tradescantia prefers slightly moist but not soggy soil.

Humidity: Adapts well to average indoor humidity but thrives with a bit of extra moisture in the air.

Growth Habit: Grows quickly and benefits from occasional pinching back to encourage a fuller, bushier appearance.

The Wandering Jew is a hardy and colorful addition to any home, providing a lively splash of color with minimal care. Perfect for beginners and seasoned plant lovers alike.
